Brickhouse

Despite its somewhat hidden location in a side alley off of D’Aguilar Street, word quickly got out about this graffiti-adorned Mexican restaurant and lively cocktail bar when in it opened in 2012. They don’t take reservations, but the bar here makes the wait actually entertaining. For food, don’t skip on go-to’s: chips and guac, Mexican street corn, queso fundido. Also try their watermelon salad, taco of the moment, and a few different tostadas to share. The kitchen closes at midnight but the bar stays open late (4am on weekends).
